Here’s a #tbt if there ever was one! Photos of @mariadoering and I from our early days at @hartfordartschool 😊 I’m convinced it was all those late nights in the studio and hauling ourselves home through the snow that deepened our bond! 😂 But in all seriousness, I feel very grateful to have such a special friendship that’s lasted over the years. It was those early days that we began collaborating if you think about it since we worked side by side, providing feedback and pushing each other to do more. One of our earliest projects (and it wasn’t a homework assignment), we taped a bunch of album covers together and painted figures on top of them. It spanned the length of Maria’s freshman dorm shared living space! We took over the whole room and I’m pretty sure her roommates hated us for it 😂 Thankfully now we are being given designated spaces during our residencies! Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years from those days until now. It really brings tears to my eyes to think back on where we were then and how far we’ve come as artists. I can’t wait to see what happens in another 10+ years! If you’d like to, please check out the link in my profile for available works we are selling. Proceeds will go towards the continued funding of Shared Energies.(And shout out if you knew us back then 🙌)
